Questions & Answers about Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα.
How do you pronounce Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα?
A natural pronunciation is:
i análysi díchni to apotélesma
A rough English-friendly guide:
- Η = ee
- ανάλυση = ah-NA-lee-see
- δείχνει = THEE-khnee or DHEE-khnee depending on accent and how you hear δ
- το = to
- αποτέλεσμα = ah-po-TE-lez-ma
A more accurate note:
- δ sounds like th in this
- χ sounds like the ch in German Bach or Scottish loch
Why are there two little words, Η and το, in the sentence?
They are the definite articles, meaning the.
- Η = the for a feminine singular noun
- το = the for a neuter singular noun
So:
- Η ανάλυση = the analysis
- το αποτέλεσμα = the result
Unlike English, Greek articles change form depending on gender, number, and case.
Why is it Η ανάλυση but το αποτέλεσμα? How do I know the gender?
Greek nouns have grammatical gender.
In this sentence:
- ανάλυση is feminine
- αποτέλεσμα is neuter
That is why they take different articles:
- feminine singular nominative: η
- neuter singular nominative/accusative: το
There are some patterns, but you cannot always guess gender perfectly just from meaning. You usually learn each noun together with its article:
- η ανάλυση
- το αποτέλεσμα
That is the best habit for learners.
What case are the nouns in here?
- Η ανάλυση is in the nominative case because it is the subject.
- το αποτέλεσμα is in the accusative case because it is the direct object.
In this sentence, the forms happen to look like this:
- η ανάλυση = nominative singular
- το αποτέλεσμα = accusative singular
For the neuter noun αποτέλεσμα, nominative and accusative singular look the same. That is very common in Greek neuter nouns.
Why does the verb δείχνει end in -ει?
δείχνει is the 3rd person singular form of the verb δείχνω (to show).
So it matches a singular subject:
- Η ανάλυση δείχνει = The analysis shows
A few useful forms:
- δείχνω = I show
- δείχνεις = you show
- δείχνει = he/she/it shows
Greek verbs change their endings depending on the subject.
What tense is δείχνει?
It is the present tense.
So the sentence describes something as a current fact or general statement:
- Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα.
Greek present tense often covers both ideas that English expresses as:
- shows
- is showing
The exact English translation depends on context.
Is the word order fixed, or can Greek change it?
The order here is the most neutral and natural:
Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα.
subject + verb + object
Greek word order is more flexible than English because case and articles help show what each word is doing. So other orders are possible for emphasis, for example:
- Το αποτέλεσμα δείχνει η ανάλυση.
- Δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα η ανάλυση.
But these sound marked or emphatic in most contexts. For a learner, the normal pattern subject + verb + object is the safest choice.
Why are there accent marks on ανάλυση, δείχνει, and αποτέλεσμα?
These marks show where the stress falls when you pronounce the word.
- ανάλυση → stress on νά
- δείχνει → stress on δεί
- αποτέλεσμα → stress on τέ
In Modern Greek, accent marks are very important in writing because they guide pronunciation and can sometimes distinguish forms.
Is ανάλυση singular or plural? What would the plural be?
Here it is singular:
- Η ανάλυση = the analysis
The plural is:
- οι αναλύσεις = the analyses
So:
- singular: η ανάλυση
- plural: οι αναλύσεις
Likewise:
- singular: το αποτέλεσμα
- plural: τα αποτελέσματα
Can I leave out the articles and just say ανάλυση δείχνει αποτέλεσμα?
Usually, no—not in normal standard Greek for this kind of sentence.
Greek uses articles much more regularly than English does. In a sentence like this, the natural form is:
Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα.
Leaving out the articles would sound unnatural or incomplete in most ordinary contexts.
Does δείχνει only mean shows, or can it also mean indicates?
It can mean both, depending on context.
δείχνω / δείχνει is a very common verb and can mean:
- show
- indicate
- point out
- sometimes even demonstrate
So in an academic or technical context, Η ανάλυση δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα may sound like:
- The analysis shows the result
- The analysis indicates the result
The exact English choice depends on the situation.
How would I make this sentence negative?
You add δεν before the verb:
Η ανάλυση δεν δείχνει το αποτέλεσμα.
That means The analysis does not show the result.
This is the normal way to negate a present-tense statement in Greek:
- δεν + verb
